Not sure what you meant by "makes no sense" I was just saying basically we'll see if the Stillen kit can make that much WHP. I'm going to see 12PSI and will have enough fuel to support it ,We will how ever see if the single inlet pipe can deal with it.

10-11 PSI with my Maf's maxing out at 6600 rpms because of the small intake that Stillen kit uses. Just making that bigger would make more power and not max out the Maf's.

If your going to do anything I would start with the small intake and get a 2.75inch one made for the maf's.Vince from R/T Tuning and my self talked about doing this just never got around to it.

As far as splitting the tube after the SC I wouldnt do that tell you do something about the first bottle neck in the system.

When I had the kit I thought about all kind of thing's to do to it making it a blow through set up instead of draw through like it is. It should have been blow through from the start.

Ok Will do,, I will look at the intake where the MAF's are but arent the Still twin tubes 2.75 now? An that would still go down to one tube to meet the SC? An sorry but can you explain Blow vs draw through? I have read a lot about it but not sure what it means really, I mean really think about doing this while the car is apart , Thanx Cliff

If my memory serves me any good there small like 2.0-2.25. Next time you have you bumper off just look at them there tiny. It does get a little bigger after it goes into one. But from a tuning stand point, the pipe being bigger after the fact is to late.

Blow through is how this car is set up from the factory ,and all the other aftermarket kits are designed on these cars. GTM TT Greddy TT GTM supercharger Boosted performance Mid mount S & R single turbo. Stillen is the only kit that is making the car do something it was not designed to do re-locate the maf's to the front.

Having the Maf's out front you cant read intake car temp with a long from uprev. They also max out at a lower HP level because of the size location/small pipe.

Blow through you can vent to atmosphere on our cars draw through Stillen set up you can not.

This is one of the reason's I sold the kit and did not put it back on my car with the built motor I am driving around with now.

I do think there can be more power had from the Stillen kit ,but you have to change thing's with the kit. Stillen is not on these forums anymore for support nor are they putting out any other stages of the kit.

Thanx a lot man,, So let me see if I get this. So I can just make the intake to the SC bigger 2.75 or 3? And move the MAF's to after the SC( But would have to split the pipes( Could use two 2 inch pipes). Or at least just make the pipe to the SC pipe bigger . I have the whole front of th car off now at the dealer, Thats why I'm even thinking about do this now the car is down and will be down for the next 2 weeks waiting for the SC to be fixed,.

The car is NA from the factory so it's definitely setup as draw-through. The presence of a compressor (SC or Turbo) in the system and which side of it the MAF is on makes it a potential blow through. When the MAF is post compressor it is blow-through, pre-compressor, just like an NA car, is draw-through.
